Since his 1954 censure by the Senate, he had frequented the hospital with sinus trouble, bursitis, and a knee injury...
...most heart operations these would have been enough. But in this case Surgeon Bailey wanted to keep up a gentle blood flow through the heart muscle while he operated. So he lifted the heart and turned it, exposing the coronary sinus through which most of the blood is drained from the heart. In a ring of stitches he made a cut and slipped in a fourth tube...
...refused to give up is Cleveland's Claude Schaeffer Beck. For 20 years he has staked his professional reputation on a still controversial operation now universally known as the Beck I.

When that happens, a richer supply of blood passes to the damaged heart through the walls of the sac. A large vein (the coronary sinus) is then tied to slow drainage from the heart, and a piece of fat in the heart sac is sewed to the heart surface in the hope that it will provide additional circulation...
